22 Toen zeide de HEERE God: Ziet, de mens is geworden als Onzer een, kennende het goed en het kwaad! Nu dan, dat hij zijn hand niet uitsteke, en neme ook van den boom des levens, en ete, en leve in eeuwigheid.

220. 'His voice going to and fro' means that only a residue of perception was left, so small as to be solitary and inaudible, so to speak. This is also clear from the next verse in which it is said that Jehovah called out to the man. A similar usage occurs in Isaiah,

The voice of one crying in the wilderness; the voice said, Cry! Isaiah 40:3, 6.

'Wilderness' stands for a Church where no faith exists; 'the voice of one crying stands for the declaration of the Lord's coming, in general for every declaration of His coming, as is made to regenerate persons who have this dictate residing in them.
